'''MBM''' is shortened from MultiBitMap<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=MBM file, 2 ways to open MBM files (2023) |url=https://datatypes.net/open-mbm-files |access-date=2023-03-16 |website=DataTypes.net |language=en}}</ref> which, as the name suggests, is a container for a set of [[bitmap]] images. The contained bitmaps are not stored verbatim. Rather, each one is stored with a modified bitmap header with no data compression or with 8-, 12-, 16-, or 24-bit [[Run-length encoding|RLE]] compression.

'''MBM''' is shortened from Mobile [[Bitmap|BitMap]]. It is [[graphics file format|image format]], that all [[APP (filename)|Symbian applications]] use, if they have external images. MBM stores lossless data as original [[bitmap]].

MBM files are used by lots of Symbian GUI applications to store their graphical content.<ref name=":0" />
